Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works was required by Gardyne Homes in support of the erection of 9 dwelling houses on land at Balmachie Road, Carnoustie. In total twenty-one anthropic features were recorded during the evaluation and monitoring works weighted in distribution to the western side of the development area. These features were a mixture of post-holes and pits distributed across the area with minimal artefacts present. The main exception was a pit at the northern end of the site which contained five sherds and one fragment from two prehistoric vessels of a Late Bronze Age plainwares, the so-called 'flat-rimmed wares'. A low density spread of wood charcoal and burnt peat (including heather) fragments was found throughout the features, characterised as domestic hearth waste. Two dates recovered from this material suggest the activity within the area includes Middle Bronze Age as well as Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age activity. Neither date is incompatible with the identification of the flat-rimmed pottery which has been identified in the Middle Bronze Age. Towards the northern end of the site a rectangular 6-post structure was identified, orientated northwest to southeast defining a minimum interior 3.5m by 2.5m in plan. The date of the structure remains uncertain though it sits comfortably within the dated range of activity on the site.
